There is an official NH Sanctioned Snow Sculpting competition at Black Mountain this weekend (Friday through Sunday, January 27 to 29). This event attracts amateur and professional snow sculpting teams of 2 or 3 members. The winning team will receive a trophy and an invitation to compete in the United States National Snow Sculpting Competition in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin in 2013. Competitors must be 18 years or older to compete in this part of the competition.

Amateurs and professionals of any age may compete for the “Overall” and “People’s Choice Awards”.

There should be 12 sculpting teams at Black Mountain this year.

In celebration of the sculpting festivities Black Mountain will also have a bonfire, scavenger hunt and live music in the Lostbo Pub both Saturday and Sunday.

The folks at the Black Mountain Ski Area in Jackson New Hampshire have come up with a new twist on dating. They call it “Chair Lift Speed Dating“, and Saturday, February 12 will be the fifth annual Chair Lift Speed Dating event at the ski area.

How does it work? It’s quite simple. They form two lines at the double chair lift – one of men and one of women. You pair up for the ride up. At the top you decide whether or not to ski off together or go back down for another try. The event starts at 2:00 PM and will be followed by an apres ski party in their Lostbo Pub.
